Good Efforts Gone Awry
As you probably can tell by now, I bring my camera with me to almost every Rockies game these days. I love being able to capture some special moments or just capturing the grandeur of Coors Field. I love this stadium and I love baseball.
For some reason this one game, my camera was set to something along the lines of +2.5EV, meaning that every shot was captured at 2.5 stops brighter than what the good exposure was. Yikes! And I didn’t realize this until about 30 frames into the game.
Back home at the Digital Darkroom, I’m uploading the images from the previous day’s events and remembered these 30 way-overexposed images and thought, “What can I do to salvage something from these shots?”
Solution — High-contrast black and white!
Here’s the results from a 12-shot panoramic attempt, all shot at +2.5EV.

Here is a three-image, hand-held HDR taken from the very tip-top of Coors Field, looking straight down towards home plate. This image is stunning when viewing the original HDR photo fullscreen.

Camarena
Today was my company’s day at the Rockies Baseball game versus the Atlanta Braves — in the 95-degree sun! Ouch!
So after a few innings, I ventured out to deep center field with my camera and a rented Nikkor 10.5 fisheye lens. Here’s the view from within the new Camarena Bar out in the centerfield. Pretty sweet view I must say! Oh and I love this lens!!

More images to come from todays playing with the fisheye lens (it’s the only lens I brought to the game!)
